About this experience
Clip into the saddle and leave Colombo's busy streets behind on this private three-hour cycling tour through the city's greener fringe. Your English-speaking adventure specialist picks you up from your Colombo hotel, fits you with a high-quality helmet, and hands you a well-maintained bicycle sized to your height before you set off. The route winds alongside lush paddy fields and traces the bank of the Kelaniya River, where you watch the sunrise paint the water gold — a scene most visitors never reach from the back of a taxi.
The trail also passes the historic Kelaniya Temple, visited by the Buddha, where your guide shares its mystical history and points out the ancient paintings that adorn the shrine-room walls. Open to riders aged five and above, the tour suits families and solo travellers alike. Water is provided throughout, and hotel drop-off is included once the ride is done. Food, personal expenses, and gratuities are not included.
